The amiloride-sensitive sodium channel is responsible for the rate-limiting step of sodium reabsorption in the distal renal tubule, and thus may play a key role in the maintenance of sodium balance and blood pressure. In this study, a genetic variant that results in a change of threonine to methionine at amino acid 594 (T594 M) in the carboxy-terminus of the beta-subunit of the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel has been identified. This variant was present in 6.1% of African-American subjects (N = 231) but was not seen in Caucasians (N = 192). Whole cell voltage clamp of B-lymphocytes from individuals with the T594 M variant showed similar basal membrane slope conductance, compared with the wild-type but increased response to cAMP analog.
